Story
We are moving overseas for a temporary job and looking to rehome our beloved pup Archie until we return in January 2026. We adopted Archie in 2014 and he's now the most puppy-faced 10-year-old boy you've ever seen (seriously, we still get stopped on the street constantly asking if he's a puppy!). He has been a loyal companion, witnessing our family grow as we married and welcomed two human babies, now ages 6 and 2. Archie is a top-notch snuggler, full of energy on walks, and incredibly patient with little ones. Until very recently he would run his little heart out at the dog park, consistently faster than dogs half his age. Having spent the first year of his life in shelters, however, he does come with some baggage and still experiences separation anxiety. Archie would do best in a home with at least one person home the majority of the time and/or with another dog to keep him company. He is house-trained, but resists the crate. Please consider taking in our special guy!

Story
Tina is a 2-year-old black and tan female Doberman. Her tail is docked and her ears are cropped (but floppy). Tina is a happy, playful, and energetic girl who is crate and house-trained. She sleeps in a crate at night without issues. During the day while we are not home, she has run of the house, and she has been a very good girl, usually just sleeping on one of her dog beds. Tina is looking for an active home with people who are committed to doing training, activities, and brain games with her daily. She can be shy when meeting new people, but for folks who are patient, she quickly warms into a velcro Doberman who will follow you all over the house. Tina likes to chase things, so she will not be placed in a home with cats, small mammals, or birds. She would do best in a suburban or rural home with less canine and pedestrian traffic, and at this time, we think she will do best with a fenced yard. She could be a single dog or go to a home with a calm, but playful pup partner, but would need a slow introduction to any other dogs in the home. Tina had happily coexisted with a 50-pound senior female dog in a previous foster home. Tina is fostered in Virginia. Tina LOVES to play fetch! Balls are life! She is very good at bringing the ball back so that you can throw it again. Check out a video of Tina playing fetch: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/igugggsXojs DAR&E adopts to MD, VA, DC, DE, eastern parts of WV and southern parts of PA.

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dakota is a very affectionate, gentle, 97 pound, 7-8 year old female black/tan Doberman with a calm and friendly personality. She is a bit overweight and on a journey to a healthier leaner body. Dakota is a special needs dog; she had a cancerous mass which was removed. There are currently no signs of cancer but she should be monitored to see if it returns. Dakota greets everyone she meets with a wagging tail and gentle kisses. Dakota is calm and well-mannered. She is content to take naps and relax. If she is left alone she does whine and pace. She is not destructive but will chew a blanket. She sleeps through the night on her dog bed. Dakota will do best in a new home where someone is home with her. She does well when riding in the car. Dakota spent some with another female Doberman and got along well with her. She would be a good companion for an older or more relaxed playmate rather than rough-housing with a young puppy. Dakota is fostered in Maryland.

Story
Meet Salem, a 9 month old, female, black and tan Doberman with cropped (but floppy) ears and a docked tail. She's about 45 pounds and needs to gain some weight. Like most doberman puppies, Salem is high energy and shouldn't be around fluffy things (pillows, rugs, beds) at this time in her puppy stage. She is crate trained and does well with blankets in her crate. Salem LOVES people and loves to give puppy kisses and cuddles. She is well trained and even received formal training. Typical for a puppy, she will need more frequent bathroom breaks with supervision. She's good at entertaining herself with a bone. Salem is an alpha dog. In her foster home, she has done well with the dog that is similar in size to her. Salem is looking for a forever home where her family will continue to work on her training. Salem requires a fully-fenced yard (no e-fence). Salem is fostered in Maryland. DAR&E adopts to MD, VA, DC, DE, eastern parts of WV and southern parts of PA.

Story
If Rayne were a human, she would be a supermodel. She is a willowy young girl with long thin legs and a beautiful face framed by perfectly shaped and expressive brows. Rayne has a sweet demeanor, she is easy going, and she loves getting scratches; especially behind her ears.  Rayne was rescued from PG County's euthanasia list and she is loving her new-found freedom! She loves to ride in the car, enjoys the fresh air on her face, and the rediscovered feeling of freedom! She appeciates all of the spring smells and wags her tail when other dogs pass. She loves to walk and is easy on leash. Sitting in the grass and watching the world around her, Rayne is a content dog who is looking to find a home where she can rest easy in the comfort and safety of her forever home. ##2324335##
